Help - volume and balance changing on its own!!

Hey,

So yeh whenever I go into the mixer and select a track the balance control moves all the way left and the volume moves down halfway and then keeps moving around without me touching anything on the mpc....anyone else have this problem or have any idea how it could be fixed?

Cheers!

were you changing the volumes/pans of the mixer tracks while the mpc was recording? Sounds like you may have recorded mixer automation.
i cant remember whether you can disable or clear the automation via an option, of if youll have record (not overdub) with the track pans etc where you want them.

No its definately not that cus it happens even when I turn the mpc off then on again and go straight into the mixer without recording again....cheers for the help tho, any other ideas?

Check the manual. I'm only familiar with the 5000.

Just turned off autoload and the same problem persists!!

It only does this when hooked into a mixer? Sounds like you might have a short or something, but seems odd. If you're plugged into the mixer and hook into the headphone jack and listen, does it do it on the headphones as well?

You sure it's a problem with the MPC and not your mixer?

I mean the mixer in the actual mpc, not an external one...should have made that clearer! But yeh its definately something up with the mpc...just dont know how i could fix it!

does it do this only after playing the track, or even before playing anything?

even before doing anything. It doesnt do it if nothing is loaded to the pads, but when i load something and go into the mixer it happens to the selected channel only, and as soon as I move onto another channel it starts to do it on that channel only....quite odd!

sounds like your Q-link sliders might be faulty, because the Q-links are assigned to LEVEL and PAN in the mixer screen

Thats exactly it, just checked it there!! Thanks so much for that man, will give them a good clean/replacing! cheers!

I’m having the same issue. And my screen burned out like a week ago so I’m gonna have to buy another one. But yeah the panning always changes. I’m using an MPC Touch with MPC Beats btw
